Mayu and Mio Amakura

There are many legends about Minakami Villiage, also known as "All God's Village". The most common say that in a single night, it and all of its inhabitants vanished without a trace. The spot where the village is known to have stood is covered by a thick fog, and people who get lost in the forests surrounding the village are said to be spirited away, never to be seen again.

Before the Minikami Dam was built, twin sisters wandering the forests discovered the village. They are known as the only ones to have discovered All God's Village and to return. That's not to say that the discovery didn't leave them changed, the most obvious result of their visit being the bandage Mio wears over her eyes, as an encounter in the village left her permanently blinded. Neither wishes to speak of their experiences in the village, and if pressed about what happened, they quickly become aggressive.

The twins travel together, keeping to themselves for the most part. When encountered, Mio and Mayu can be found holding each other's hand to make sure that Mio doesn't trip over anything. Mayu does walk with a noticeable limp, oftentimes wearing a knee brace or bandaging on her right knee to help support the injury. They dress in a conservative fashion, usually wearing items that match what the other is wearing. A Crimson Butterfly is part of Mayu's dress in some way, while the color of Mio's clothing tends to be a bit muted. If the pair know they are going into combat, they both wear white kimonos with a red sash around the waist. As combat progresses, Mayu's kimono starts to slowly spot red with blood, whether she's been in melee combat or not.

In combat, the two are fierce opponents, spending their opening actions placing their Warlock's Curse on their opponents, then peppering them with spells from afar before moving to gain concealment from their Shadow Walk ability. The pair try to focus on one opponent at a time, either immobilizing them to lessen the threat from that particular foe or subduing him with The twins try to stay within ten squares of each other to make sure Mio gains the benefit from Mayu's Shrine Charm. If Mayu is somehow immobilized or drops to 0 HP, Mio loses the benefit, slowing her own speed by half and giving all of her opponents total concealment. Should the battle start to turn against them, Mio will get as close to her sister as she can while Mayu uses Mire the Mind, granting them invisibility to their target while they make their escape.
